Summary

Beachside Elementary School in Daytona Beach, FL, serves 618 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Volusia school district, earning a 3-star rating that places it in the middle of the pack statewide.

Beachside stands out as a stable, average option in a local landscape of highly polarized schools. While nearby Ormond Beach Elementary and Pine Trail Elementary are high-performing, and Turie T. Small Elementary and Holly Hill Elementary struggle significantly, Beachside sits comfortably in the middle. The school's greatest academic strength is its 4th-grade math program, where 72% of students were proficient—a full 6 points above the district average and tied with Pine Trail. However, this success contrasts sharply with 3rd-grade math, where only 45% of students were proficient, the lowest among all nearby schools. This pattern suggests an exceptionally effective 4th-grade teaching team, and the school's biggest opportunity for improvement is to replicate that success in earlier grades.

Science is a consistent bright spot, with 5th-grade scores close to the state average and higher than several neighbors like South Daytona Elementary and Palm Terrace Elementary. The school spends $10,952 per student, more than both high-performing Pine Trail and struggling Turie T. Small, indicating that funding is not the issue. Chronic absenteeism, while a challenge at 35.5%, is significantly lower than the severe rates at Holly Hill (47.9%) and Westside Elementary (47.4%). Overall, Beachside is a school of contrasts, with pockets of excellence that, if expanded, could lift its entire profile.
